They didn't invent Donkey Kong? How about Mario?

They took that name from someone who was connected to NoA in some way. Either an employee or someone from a pizza delivery service. I don't recall the exact details how Mario got his name, but fact is that the character in question was born as Jumpman and carpenter.

Do you ever use google/wikipedia?

It was the name of their supposed "Nintendo of America's warehouse landlord Mario Segale"
